Class 6A No. 4 Monarch girls

Game details: Friday, 2:15 p.m. against No. 8 Arapahoe

Scouting report: So far throughout the postseason — and almost the entire season — no team has been able to touch the 25-1 Coyotes. The ladies exacted revenge on the only team to get the better of them when, in the Great 8, they punched Regis Jesuit in the mouth with a 62-44 victory.

Their nearly unmitigated success has come as a result of an incredibly tough starting five and their collective ability to be the leading scorer on any given night: senior point guard Natalie Guanella (15.7 points per game), senior power forward Amelia Rosin (11.4 ppg), senior forward Arezo Safi (10.6 ppg), junior guard/forward Hayley Luther (8.2 ppg) and senior forward Caroline Walley (7.8 ppg).

The Coyotes will now face an Arapahoe team that upset top-seeded Valor a few hours after Monarch defeated Regis, and head coach Mike Blakely knows his ladies will need to be on their A-game on defense and crashing the glass if they hope to keep their state championship bid alive.

“Arapahoe is really good,” Blakely said. “We saw them play at the beginning of the year in Dallas and they were really good then, and I think they have only improved as the season has gone on. Knocking off Valor says a lot about what they are capable of as a team. I think a lot of people had Valor penciled into the finals and beating them helps everyone else see what Arapahoe is capable of. Beating them is going to take a team effort, offensively and defensively. If we can score a little and guard the way we have during most of the season, I really like our chances.”
